OlderClay Aiken Channels Mother Teresa
Clay Aiken and a mystery male take a walk together in Los Angeles on Tuesday (May 12).
The 30-year-old former American Idol contestant just blogged a quote from Mother Teresa: “People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered. Forgive them anyway. / If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Be kind anyway. / If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies. Succeed anyway. / If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you. Be honest and sincere anyway. / What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight. Create anyway. / If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous. Be happy anyway. / The good you do today, will often be forgotten. Do good anyway. / Give the best you have, and it will never be enough. Give your best anyway. In the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.”

@AngelaAlbania:
You need to learn NEVER MAKE BLANKET STATEMENTS as they can never be true.
Many Christians DO support gays! They are our fellow human beings and deserve the same rights and privileges. So go read the Gospels and read what Jesus has to say about how you treat your fellow man.
I wouldn’t worry about X fans ladies, they just ‘revealed’ themselves.
Looks to me like Mr Aiken is telling his fans to just ignore the ‘ignorant’ because “It never was about them anyway”.
So the other guy is Brody Jenner, isn’t he David Fosters son, which would make Brody and Aiken’s son, cousins.
It’s NOT Brody Jenner . This guy has a similar look but it’s definitely not him.
jeffiner…….If a celebrity has to lie about who they really are, just to have a Public Image……what good are they? WHY do they have to lie? WHY not be truthful about your life? I could see it in the beginning, but after so much had been written acouple of years later…..he still lied and then told his few fans on the OFC, he never lied to them. He told a bare faced lie on
GMA and skirted the question on L.K. to make it sound like he wasn’t gay. WHO CARES about that?? WHO really didn’t know, except his older fans than ’still’ think they can make him straight again.
I happen to read alot of celebrity articles and I know some are pumped up to make them look good, but not the constant lying just to make themselves look good. I really think the lying, more than being gay drove fans away. He is answering questions and blogging on the OFC because after membership was over, and lowering the price, he knew how little fans he had left and he better do something to keep what little he had. Some renewed after his q&a. It won’t last though. Always excuses for him….too busy, sick, taking care of his son, etc, etc.
His voice is shot, and he is nothing but a joke to anyone but his Grandma fans that have nothing to do but sit in front of the computer all day. (Not all, but most) Any where he might be, they try to figure out how they can be in front, just so he can see them. Some he knows by name because of it and of course they feel so special. *gag* It Does work sometimes……especially if Clay knows they have money. They are his Bestest fans. One even buys up everything on Ebay and is going to have a Clay Museum in her house.
Its really funny how the fans go on E.v.e.r.y single article and reprimand others than have less than glowing remarks.about their Saint! Some post under men’s names so other posters ‘THINK’ it is really men sticking up for him. To let others know, he also has alot of men fans. He did, but, little by little they have left also.
Lay off the Kool-Aid and think back about 5 years to now, and what was being said, (even in private sites about the rumors) and then to last year, it all ties in. He IS what they have said!
All he really has left now is UNICEF and the BAF.
Wow! just wondering! You really have issues! Look at all the time you took to spew all that bile about someone you don’t care about! Maybe you need a hobby?
All the hate in the name of Christianity, is that “what Jesus tells you to do?”
I love this one about jealously….
“If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous. Be happy anyway”
Yikes!
Jake #52 is right, “just wondering” talk about “revealing yourself”.
“just wondering” should be “just wondering” where the hell their damned mind went. Sheesh.
Clay’s alright; sings well enough, tries to give back, hasn’t really done anything that truly harms another, is just an average person in the public eye. So what? Don’t like the person don’t follow along. Fairly simple.
Life’s too short for obsessive anger.
By the way, those that are so adamantly hostile…if Clay’s life is so manipulative and hateful, the peeps in yours must REALLY have it rough.
Clay looks healthy and happy and the guy he is with is gorgeous! I understand the anger and resentment that some of Clay’s ex-fans feel because as a fan myself I had to come to terms with the fact that Clay did in fact lie to us for years. I understand the lie and know why he did it but it still is a bitter pill to swallow when you’ve built your idea of someone around one persona and he reveals himself to be someone else.
Many of Clay’s most ardant supporters really took to battle over the “is he gay” issue. They ruined his career over it actually. They saw fit to berate and stalk anyone who dared say Clay was gay. They wrote letters and made phone calls and basically did everything within their power to silence those people who continued to claim that Clay was gay. Then, turns out they were fighting a battle that was totally unnecessary. If Clay had just told them to stop they might have stopped. If Clay had never answered one question regarding his sexuality then they wouldn’t have had his own words as “proof” that people were just “out to get” Clay. They really believed in what they were fighting for. They actually believed that there were people out there using the “gay” rumors to try to destroy Clay’s career.
When it turned out the rumors were true they were left feeling betrayed, hurt, angry and bitter. Some have gotten over it while others have not. I assume the ones who have not are the ones who were most invested and probably that investment took a toll on their own lives by pushing away family and friends who did not worship at the alter of Clay like they did. Now, they have to face those family and friends and realize that what they sacraficed was for a lie.
nice quote from Mother Teresa btw. It applies to so many different situations.
Just wondering, just whoa! Have you considered going to a shrink? They have some great meds these days– you might want to consider it.
Why is what Clay Aiken doing even all that important?????
Pictures of him taking a walk, him taking the baby out, him going around w/ that baby mama of his, blah blah blah. Big freakin’ deal. Guy isn’t selling any cd’s, so his showing ordinary life is all that’s keeping people talking.
Sammy it was NEVER “many” of Clay’s fans who did what you say—it was always just a few BUT they were very VERY loud an gave all of us a bad name. Which pretty much makes your whole argument not applicable to most of the fans. Some, yes –but most no.
I thought he was dating some guy from Wicked??? Did they already break up & this is the new butt-buddy?
I wonder what words Mother Teresa would have for Clay regarding his ‘use them and lose them’ policy of internet sex hook-ups???
#63 Rob. Clay Aiken is still with that guy Reed Kelly from Wicked. We just got back from the Mylene concert in France where Reed is performing.
Good show by the way.
Actually, CA she said, “In the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway. ” Does that answer your question?
To all the fallen away fans who can’t let the anger go—how does “what I do in my private life is no one’s business” translate to I’m straight. Clay may have said he wasn’t gay in like 2 interviews at the beginning (he originally came out as bi-sexual, so maybe he didn’t consider that a lie) but then he backtracked and said he shouldn’t have answered that question. He tried to tell you, you just weren’t listening–you had to lie to yourself so you could keep being a fan–so don’t blame him for your inability to deal with reality. You did this to yourselves.
@jen: That’s where you are wrong…he is a sleazeoid fake. And I’m not following his every move, believe me. Thanks goodness I’ve come to my senses.
@jeffiner: No, i’m sorry…you are seriously deranged for following celebrities and not caring about the two faced behavior. I don’t accept liars and decievers and believe what you will, but for me, he’s a liar. Truth always rises to the top. I now no longer doubt he hunted or still hunts for single men on the internet…he really is nothing special and never was.
GOODGRIEF said: “he originally came out as bi-sexual …”
WHEN did Clay ever say that ??? !!! Really I want to know.
Because IF this is true this then your other comments are very valid. I believed everything Clay said…. because I THOUGHT he was trustWORTHY. He made us think he was just nerdy and not gay. If he ever said he was bi-sexual it would have been all over the place. Why didn’t the media harp on that ??
All of you people are nuts. Love him or hate him, no one should care this much about a singer.
OK DB…..so let’s just wonder what words of comfort Mother Teresa would have for all the people Aiken has screwed. Better??
Live your life to the fullest anyway, Clay!
Continue to do good! Ignore the bad!
Pray for the people who have been continuesly trying to
put you down and smearing your name. They need it!
JUST BE HAPPY WITH YOUR FAMILY AND GENUINE FRIENDS!
I think Clay Aiken is a very handsome man. And that’s not his boyfriend in that photo. Reed Kelly is a dancer presently on tour in Europe with French singer Mylene Farmer. And the story about him getting tossed out off the American Idol set is an out and out lie. It never happened. I think that’s why he blogged the Mother Teresa quote. The man has nasty untrue stuff said about him all the time. I can’t imagine how frustrating it must be.
He said he was bisexual… when? has he ever been capable of ******** a woman? looks like there’s no indication that he has since he had to go to this extent to “father” a child….i also actaully have a big question relation to the child’s mother…I know that the 50 year old woman carried the child in her 50 year old womb…but was that actually her eggs used to produce that baby.. could she have missed getting pregnant as a much younger woman the be healthy enough to conceive in her 50’s…
I’ve been thinking of that for some time…
